Newington Green Alliance

Newington Green Alliance - originating in and inspired by the radical history of London's Newington Green area, is committed to building connection and understanding across differences. Our local communities and our world are divide by class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender and many more differences. NGA helps to show us all that we are better together.

ABOUT US:

NGA is a small charity that aims to make a big difference in local areas. We are creative and daring. We are open to ideas and leadership from everyone and anyone. We want our volunteers to thrive with us and go on to do great things in the world.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS:

In a world riven by divisions of all kinds, nothing can be as important or as impactful is developing understanding, compassion, respect, and mutuality across differences.

OUR VALUES:

Bravery We are happy to think outside the box and recognise failure as a learning experience and a necessity for doing new things.

EQUITY We want to create a community that includes everyone and challenges racism, classism, ableism, xenophobia and other prejudices and systems of oppression whilst seeking to understand and embrace differences in belief, disability, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

COMPASSION We care about suffering whenever, to whoever, and wherever it occurs.

OPENNESS We aspire to be clear, direct, open and honest with volunteers, funders, partners, and the community we serve. We listen first to understand different lived experiences.

MUTUALITY We aim to collaborate as a team and with other organisations, in turn encouraging mutual aid and support within the area we serve.

EMPOWERMENT We strive to help volunteers and others in the community we serve to develop the ability to help themselves and foster leadership to help others.
